• There’s got to be a better way to do this.• Innovation
– Our approach– Examples
• Collaboration– Our experience– Examples
• Questions
Overview
Information Technology SolutionsInformation Technology Solutions
• Our Approach– Adaptation, improvisation, but your weakness is
not your technique!– Innovation, for us, is a mindset
• There’s (possibly) a better way!• Try things• Doesn’t always work out!

• Upside– CSV for survey controller
• Quick, easy, no mistakes.– Google Earth KML
• Big picture.• Eliminate possibilities (e.g. trees, marks in roads).• Navigation in the field (tablet, smartphone).
– Paperless (reason to buy an iPad!)• Downside
– We are slightly lazier with our search constraint.– Minor tweaks once or twice a year.

• Google Apps for Business• Dropbox
– Collaboration.– Sharing.
• Buy one, get n free.– Versioning (incremental backup).– Mobile devices.
• Zapier– If this happens, then do this for me.

• Repetitive tasks in AutoCAD.– Time consuming.– Error prone (forget, miss steps, etc).
• Automate these processes.

• Compliance– Purchaser
• ICSM Standard Requirements.• Custom requirements.
– Supplier• “ticks off” requirements.• Provides additional details

• Quality Assurance– Automatically verifies delivered data for:
• Presence• Corruption• Completeness• Compliance
– Verifies data accuracy• Suitability of independent control.• Vertical accuracy from independent control.
– Visual Checks• Examine individual tiles for defects/problems.• Verify entire dataset or a random sample.• Multi-user.
Example: comQAT

• The Result?– Standardised approach
• Project specification• Delivery• QA
– Huge time savings• 1 Terraabyte LiDAR dataset• Before: 6-8 weeks• After: 2-3 days
– Reduced Project Management• Comprehensive, standardised, reporting• Minimises effort on re-supply
